Koltin Hevalow – Home School Senior – 3/15/21 and 4/12/21

As a professional photographer for over 30 years, just when you think you’ve seen and done it all, there’s always something new!  Koltin is my first young bull rider I have had the pleasure to photograph!  Again, due to weather conditions, we ended up doing two sessions for Koltin, one in studio and one on location.  Here’s a brief background on this young man.  He’s been doing bull riding since he was three years old and he’s not yet 18 years old.  Here’s a brief list of his memberships and accomplishments:

*Missouri High School Rodeo Association – There’s 130 members in the state of Mo.

*2017 National Junior High School World Champion Bull Rider.

*Four Time Youth World Champion Bull Riding.

*2020 – Boys All Around Champion For Mo. High School Rodeo Association.

*Will be going to college in Odessa Texas with a full ride scholarship.  Apart from his general studies, he will be doing Bull Riding, Tied Down Roping, and Team Roping.

*Member of The Pro Rodeo Cowboys Association.

His dad, Kevin, has also done bull riding and saddle broncs.  His mom, Jen, has done barrel racing, to include pole bending, goat tying, trail course, and roping!  Also, his 14 year old brother, Crash, is following in the family footsteps!  WOW!  Thank you all so very much for the opportunity to photograph Koltin’s senior portraits!  What a wonderful learning experience for me and my assistants!  We wish you the best, Mr. Koltin!!!

Chandler DeAces – Smithville HS – 2/19/21 and 4/3/21

We have photographed Chandler’s brother in the past and Chandler is the last of the siblings.  We ended up doing two separate sessions with him.  He was wanting some snow photographs so we did those photos in February and then we finished up his session in April in order to get better weather for his on location images in the city.  Chandler loves the cityscape of Kansas City.  We had a bit of haze in the sky on this day, but not too bad.  You might be able to notice in some of the photographs.  Chandler’s goal after high school is to go into the U.S. Marines.  Chandler, we wish you the best with your future goals.  Thank you to mom and dad for the opportunity to photograph your last child!

Robert Moody – Rosendale HS – 3/18/21

Robert is the third and last family member we have had the opportunity to photograph for senior portraits.  Thank you for driving such a long way.  We feel honored!  Let me tell you, Robert is a character.  He plays both the saxophone and guitar!  He’s been playing saxophone since he was in the 4th grade!  Check out his hat!  It’s his trademark.  He wears it all the time.  It’s part of his personality.  Robert joined the U.S. Army and will be going to basic training in August!  We wish you the best, and thank you for serving our country!  Robert chose to have his session done all indoors.  Again, thank you for the opportunity!

Thank you, again, to Matt Castor for the opportunity to photograph the Mid-Buch youth basketball teams!

Moppin and Shipman Families – 12/19/20

Esther Shipman is a long time client of our studio!! With all the Coronavirus Craziness, it’s been a long process to get her daughter Julie’s family photographed, but we finally made it happen.  We did the session on location and also set up a formal background to do College Graduation Cap and Gown photographs of Mitchell, since he had not had them done back in the spring.  We made it happen for Grandma Shipman and Mom and Dad. I have had the pleasure and opportunity to photograph all three of Esther’s grand boys, Mitchell being the last one to graduate college! Congratulations Mitchell!!!  We have also done numerous family sessions in the past years!  Again, Esther and Julie, thank you so much for the opportunity to capture the history of your families!
